Silage Corn for Higher Milk and Meat Yields
Maizex is a leader in silage corn, offering diverse hybrid technologies to meet the specific needs of your ration. This includes a full portfolio of Maizex EnergyPlus dual-purpose hybrids to drive energy and feed efficiency and FeastPlus Maizex silage-specific hybrids for enhanced feed palatability, digestibility, and full-acre tonnage.
Maizex EnergyPlus Dual-Purpose Silage Corn – MZ/MS Hybrids
Provides greater flexibility for your ration. Target higher plant populations for increased yield benefits. Features include:
- Increased harvest flexibility for silage, high moisture, or grain corn.
- Potential for higher total starch content and more energy-dense ration when compared to our FeastPlus hybrids.
- Stronger stalks that improve standability for harvest.
- A focus on selecting tall and robust hybrids that have high grain yield and are 100–200 CHU longer in maturity than normal grain hybrids for the area.
- Approximately 50% of the dry matter in silage comes from the grain content.
Maizex FeastPlus Silage-Specific Leafy Hybrids – LF/LFG/MS Hybrids
Provides high-end silage yields with maximum starch availability. Plant at medium to lower populations according to hybrid-specific recommendations. Features include:
- Extra leaves above the ear to add tonnage and sugar content for better fermentation in the silo
- The stalk above the ear is more flexible and digestible. Silage focused leafy hybrids have a lower ear position and more plant above the ear to improve fiber digestibility. Slower grain and plant drydown for a wider harvest window to boost feed security and quality.
- Leafy-floury hybrids combine effective fibre with highly available starch.
